Uwa12345: Oh well. It's me again. I'll just write my whole day and my thoughts. And uhm, sorry for bother :/
I wrote math test yesterday, I think I'll have like 60-70%, but I wish I'm better in math. Even tho' I rock in chemistry and German hehehehe c:
Also I've seen a couple kissing today in school, and realized. I really want a boyfriend, because I somehow want it. You know, to feel pretty and loved, and wanted. I want the love like in fanfics I read or in anime/manga, even tho' I know it's unreal and it would hardly happen to me in 1st grade of high school.
And I have a beauty problem too. I have a nice face features and beautiful hair, I don't think my face is ugly, but my face skin is. It's really red lately and I have lots of those pimples. I'm going to dermatologist every month since Semptember and I'm trying to not eat a lot sweets and 'unhealthy' food as much as I can, but my skin is looking worser with every day. Also I think i'll have moustaches o.o Is that usual in women to have it? I mean, not like man moustaches, but I have something above my mouth TT-TT Can I remove it somehow without getting it worse? :(
Also I want slimmer legs (like Dara or SNSD), any exercise to recomend? And also I want to work out on my tummy, I'm planing to push-ups ^^
Thanks you in advance. I'm really confused and yea' . Weir o.o

Friend: Dear Uwa12345,

It’s great to hear from you again and don’t worry, you’re never a bother(: Congratulations on rocking in Chemistry and Germany! :D Wish I could be as awesome as you in a foreign language ;] Now onto your dilemma:

If you’re struggling in any school subject, the best thing to do is to get help. The first person I would look to is your teacher. It’s their job to teach you the material so there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to find a way to get your grade up! If they offer any sort of tutoring after school, before school, or during your lunch or free period – take it. Any help with your teacher being one-on-one can help clear up a lot of problems you didn’t understand before so that when he/she tosses in a pop quiz, you’ll be the first one to finish and score an A ;] If your teacher doesn’t do such things, then see if your school provides any sort of tutoring. In my school, we have a program in which students who have excelled in their previous classes are able to offer help to lower classmen(: If you don’t have anything like that, then go ahead and ask your friends. Whether they are upper classmen or just your friends who understand the material, I’m sure that they can spare some time to help you out and give you a few tips on how to solve a math problem(:

Ah high school love. I think high school’s the time where everyone goes through the phase of wanting a boyfriend or girlfriend. Sometimes the person doesn’t even have anyone in mind and simply wants someone to cuddle with in the wintertime. Uwa12345, let me tell you that it’s better to wait and be sure than rush and regret later in life. Having a boyfriend is not all it’s cracked up to be in all honesty. Fanfics and mangas make it seem like getting a boyfriend will complete a huge part of your life, but what we readers don’t do is read in between the lines. It’s not a matter of getting the perfect boyfriend, but rather finding the perfect boyfriend. Finding someone who will understand all your jokes, support you 100% of the time, and be your best friend, will take a long time to find. And if you just stumble upon some random guy and decide to take him as your partner, you may end up regretting it later. So many of my friends have gone through the phase of wanting a boyfriend so much, where they just ended up taking anyone who asked them to be their girlfriend. And because of that, they’ve regretted their first relationship. Try to occupy yourself with something to do(: Hang out with your friends or spend some time with your family. The one thing I definitely recommend is to join a club or sport. Joining a sport was one of the best decisions I’ve made and I was so happy to be able to experience having a team that treated everyone like a family(: We were able to go into championships and I was more than thrilled to share such an experience with them all(: Plus, showing that you’re involved with something really helps catch any college’s eyes ;] No one’s rushing you to get a boyfriend and I am honestly telling you that if you wait and the right guy hits you, you’ll be grateful that you’ve waited(: Here is where I’m getting into parent/upperclassmen mode but – don’t let a boyfriend cloud up your thoughts. It’s your first year of high school and even though you’ve probably heard people talking of how it isn’t an important year and colleges only look at junior year – it’s all false. Your first year in high school does count and it’s better to start it off on the right track and not get distracted by boys. I’m telling you from life experience that as a freshman, you really should make sure you start the year off right. I had a boyfriend in freshman year too and because of that, I wasn’t able to focus on my studies. I almost failed a class (well not literally, I got a C but I’m the type of person who only counts A’s and B’s, anything below that is considered quite a disappointment in my book). I had to break it off and after that, I was able to focus on my studies and finish the year off with straight A’s. Everyone says you need a boyfriend to accomplish your high school life but in all honesty, you don’t. High school is a time to make happy memories and help you in furthering your future, a boyfriend isn’t always a key ingredient in order to achieve such a thing(: When the right time comes Uwa12345, you will find your prince charming/kingka. Life has a funny way of working out but it does do so in the end(:

High school life also brings out puberty and breaking out from all of the stress OTL. I understand what you’re going through and there are some remedies and skin care products and tips I recommend(: First thing to do is eliminate any junk food, fast food, etc. Oily foods and fast foods with grease can do a lot of damage to your skin. Cutting off all ties from those can really make a big different. And when I say cutting off, I literally mean cutting off. I want you to try a whole month of not eating one single burger from McDonalds. Trust me, you will see the difference(: Also, make sure to drink plenty of water. Not soda, but water. It’s a simple solution that will cleanse your body and if your insides are healthy, then it’ll reflect on the outside(: One of the key ingredients to maintaining healthy skin is to stick to your skin regimen. And I mean to really stick to it. If your doctor tells you to wash your face 3 times a day every day, then listen to them. Don’t skip a day, don’t skip a wash, etc. My skin regimen is this (you don’t have to follow this since your skin may be different, I’m just giving you an overview on my skin routine) – in the morning I wash my face with soap, Clean & Clear’s “Morning Burst” facial cleanser, and apply a thin layer of Clean & Clear’s “Persa-gel 10” acne medication. When I get home from school, the first thing I do is wash my face with soap and apply another thin layer of Clean & Clear’s “Perso-gel 10” acne medication. And finally, after a long and tiring day I make sure to scrub my face with soap, L’Oreal’s “Go 360 Clean” facial scrub. This may seem like a lot so I recommend trying one thing at a time. Also, if you tend to wash your face a lot then make sure you moisturize it well so that your skin won’t dry or lose its moisture. A small tip I recommend is to make sure to let your face breathe (LOL I know this sounds weird). If you have thick bangs that cover up your forehead, try to clip those back when you’re at home. The hair that covers your forehead prevents your skin to breathe and it also helps trap the oil at the forehead area, helping those pimples to form colonies. Also, if you wear a whole load of foundation, try to apply less or just wear none at all. And when you do wear any sort of cover-up, make sure that it says the product is oil-free(: You know how in movies you see those Hollywood stars putting cucumbers on their face? Believe it or not, there’s a reason for that! Cucumbers help a lot in skincare and whenever you have the time, just place a few cucumber slices on your face for a good 10 minutes ;]

Before you freak out and start shaving that “moustache” off, STOP. Believe it or not, every girl has some sort of hair above their upper lip. For some people it may be more visible than others, but we all have it. Believe it or not (sorry if this creeps you out), we have little tiny hair all over our body. One thing I recommend for those pesky little facial hairs is to remove them with precaution. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT, shave it off or use scissors or any sort of blade around that area. One thing that will do is 1.) irritate the skin and 2.) help the hairs grow back thicker, longer, and faster. If you want to remove it, there are simpler and more effective solutions. Stores sell certain creams that easily remove the tiny hairs without causing any irritation (make sure to read the boxes carefully and make sure that it has the option for removing facial hair above the upper lip!!). You can also go to salons and ask them to wax it off although my friends always complain that it’s expensive and hurts a lot :/ Uwa12345, I think that perhaps maybe you’re overthinking this and looking too into it. Maybe it may seem like you have very noticeable hair but perhaps you’re just over-examining it. If you’re being really self-conscience then ask your mom if it really is noticeable. Chances are, she’ll say no and ask you what you’re even talking about :P However, if it’s really becoming a bother then make sure you remove those sensitive hairs in a safe way(:

When it comes to getting slim and staying in shape, I know that in order to hit that weight goal is to stick to your exercise routine(: You may not see results in the first week but give it some time and you’ll be amazed at what you’re able to accomplish(: I don’t really have any particular exercise routines I have in mind (because in all honesty, I don’t exercise as much as I should OTL), but any sort of workout should help(: For legs, my friend’s recommend jogging and doing lunges. Anything to work out the legs can help get rid of the fat and replace it with some healthy muscle(: In order to slim down your tummy, sit ups are a good way to go(: They help to tighten the abs and slim down that waist line(: Another option is the exercise hula hoop. Those special little bumps on the inside help to slim the waist but be warned – the first time you may try it it’ll either hurt or tickle :P One of the best workout routines my friend’s always get excited about is Zumba. It’s becoming really popular and all of my friends tell me how fun every class is(:

Wow, I didn’t expect this letter to be so long but here it is(: I’m happy to hear from you again Uwa12345 and I’m glad to read that you’ve been doing well in your classes and everything else ;] I apologize for not being able to get to your letter soon >< Good luck and fighting!~
